On Friday, 2/27 we drove to Forest City to spend a long weekend at Grandma & Grandpa's house. Officially we were there to celebrate Grandma Mary's birthday together as a family. Little did she know that there would be more family than she was expecting. On Saturday while Grandma was out shopping we finalized weeks of preparation for her Surprise Birthday Party.
Is anyone watching the toddler?
Grandma & Grandpa
And the first post-surprise hug goes to...Adley!
Just the "immediate family" - wow!
Helping Grandma open presents. Adley read each card:
"blah blah, blah blah, blah blah...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
This card has stickers!
Adley: "Open!"
This card sang "Celebration!" and was an Adley favorite! The present Grandma is opening contained two very tall glass candle holders which Adley promptly grabbed and took a sip out of:
Partying with Aunt Clara and her eagle.
Aunt Mary, Uncle Noel and Grandma.
The best story from this trip goes like this:
Grandma: Adley, who is this?
Adley: Uncle Noah!
Grandma: Adley, who is this?
Adley: (throwing hands in the air) Uncles, LOTS!
We love Uncle Drew...
...and Uncle Noel...
...and Aunt Anna...
...and being a princess!
